PSP 3.70 Firmware Released
September 11th, 2007 Posted in PSP
A new firmware update for the PSP is now available, offering a host of new features. Besides breaking homebrew support, the update now lets users set custom themes, with many themes already released; users can now assign buttons for Remote Play mode; scene search has been added to video; sequential video playback; and most importantly, simultaneous playback of music and photo is now supported.
The update can be downloaded from within the PSP using Network Update, or can be downloaded from Sony’s official website.

Why is Sony so against home brew? I mean at least people are using the PSP for something.

sony is uptight about homebrew and custom firmware because people can get free games and anything they want they can have so sony is losing lots of money because they make all the umd disks but no body buys them and that means sony makes no money because people dont need there crapy umds if they have homebrew or custom firmware…but if sony was smart they would stop making umds and hire people to make the best homebrew and custom firware and charge money for it couze im shure people would pay is it was good enough but…no thay would rather go bankrupd i guess…just my opinion…

I think Sony might have had the idea that if they introduced UMD it’d be the only format the could be used in the PSP, forcing people to have to buy it. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for everyone else there is always people who can find a way around it.
How come there aren’t any stories of someone hacking into the DS? I’d like to read about them if there are any.

There are actually stories of people ripping ROMs of DS cartridges. They are far easier to get than PSP ISOs, although you need a flash cartridge to play them on DS, which is a good thing for Nintendo because they cost about £40 to even £80 here in the UK.

Sony should just have a custom developers package for homebrew like the itouch has. They would loose less money. People would be more busy with homebrew than commercial games and programs.
